April 21 — Pop star Rita Ora stunned fans this week with a bold new look, unveiling a dramatic hairstyle that left many doing a double take. Known for her ever-changing hairdos, the British singer took things up a notch by swapping her signature warm tones for a striking jet black color, complete with micro bangs and waist-length extensions.
Ora revealed her latest transformation on Instagram, sharing a series of selfies showcasing her edgy new aesthetic. The fresh style features sleek, butt-length waves paired with short, blunt bangs — a nod to French girl chic with a punk-inspired twist. The hairstyle evokes vintage glamour, reminiscent of icons like Audrey Hepburn, but with a modern, rebellious edge that recalls looks popularized by Katy Perry and Dita Von Teese.
The dramatic shift came just a day after Ora was seen with flowing strawberry-red mermaid waves. In contrast to her retro hairstyle, she opted for a casual, sporty outfit, pairing a white cropped T-shirt with low-rise neon athletic shorts detailed in black and white. Completing the look were black quilted ballet flats, blending casual comfort with a streetwear vibe.
The “For You” singer also offered fans a closer look at her makeup and accessories. She highlighted her look with softly smudged black eyeliner, glossy pink lips, and a black leather bracelet adorned with gold hardware — worn creatively on both her wrist and ankle. Her signature style and confidence were on full display as she posed with a camera, capturing her transformation from every angle.
Ora’s chameleon-like approach to hair has become one of her trademarks, but it hasn’t come without consequences. In a previous interview with the Evening Standard, she credited Gwen Stefani and her iconic bleached hair as a major influence. However, Ora has also opened up about the damage caused by years of constant styling and color changes. Speaking with the Irish News last May, the singer revealed that intense hair treatments had left her with thinning hair, admitting, “It shook my confidence when I realized I had hardly any hair left.”
The singer-turned-entrepreneur has since launched her own hair care line, Typebea, focused on promoting hair growth and restoration. Her latest transformation may be bold, but it’s clear Ora is balancing her flair for fashion with a new commitment to hair health.
